About this property

FOREST GARDENS GETAWAY

FOREST GARDENS GETAWAY is a small Bed & Breakfast located on the edge of the Ottawa National Forest & the Sylvania Wilderness Area. (Find our contact information on MapQuest). If you’re looking for a place to help you put away the cares and concerns of the world, look no further! We have been hosting guests for 8 years and have loved every minute of it. Our goal is to provide a peaceful, retreat-like experience for our guests and we do whatever we can to make you feel comfortable and welcome in our home.

The western side of the UP is swell keep secret and is just breathtaking. We're about 20 miles from Bond Falls and about an hour from Porcupine Mountain State Park where you'll find Lake of the Clouds and Presque Isle Falls. All are simply gorgeous. Go a bit further west to Black River Harbor and your jaw will drop when you hike to the 5 different waterfalls that roar through the gorges and end up in Lake Superior at the harbor where you can walk for miles. After you've had enough exploring for the day, come back to the house and relax on the large screened-in gazebo or in front of the fireplace in the living room, cocktail in hand.

This large room has a queen size bed. There is also a TV and small refrigerator. Your large private bathroom is located immediately outside the bedroom door. Robes are provided.

We have a separate suite on the opposite side of the house from you and are as available as you wish for us to be. We love to visit with our guests but also want to give you your privacy if you so desire!

Please also check out the lower level 2 bedroom/1 bathroom suite that sleeps 4 (property #4642791). The entire guest area is available at a discount for larger groups up to 6.

No smoking allowed on premises.

About the host

Hosted by Debbie and Alan Piel

Host profile image
My husband and I love the Upper Peninsula. I've lived here my entire life and my husband has been here for over 35 years. We love to hike, bike, ski, and just generally enjoy being outside no matter what the season. We love to meet new people and share our home. We invite you to join us in the great Northwoods for a truly peaceful vacation.

Why they chose this property

We knew this was "our place" the moment we walked back to the property. We purchased it and began construction on our home the following year. We love the peace and serenity of this beautiful little lake and knew this was where we wanted to live for the rest of our lives.

What makes this property unique

When we sold our business and previous home we weren't sure what we wanted to do. We tried to move to the west coast but the Northwoods kept calling to us. We came home, built this house, and knew we would never leave. Our guests all seem to have the same love of the peace and quiet that surrounds our home. In the summer you can walk our gardens and walking trails, sit in the screened porch overlooking the lake, or take the kayaks out to see all the water fowl and otters that visit us daily. In the winter, you can cozy up tin front of the fire that's always in the fireplace, read a good book, and snowshoe or ski right out our front door to the 7 miles of groomed trails in the Ottawa.
